tako_search

Find the data.** Fast search over Tako's curated graph and the live web. Four parameters — `query`, `sources`, `country_code`, `locale` — and no defaults of its own, so an omitted field takes the API's. Cards carry headline values, node ids and chart links; `tako_contents` reads the rows. The top r…

tako_available_data

Find what structured data exists** on an entity or metric in one free call — the exact metric name to search on, an `id` for graph traversal, and a ready-to-run `next_call`. Ambiguous names come back as candidates with a `kind`; `metric` doubles as the substring browse filter; `limit` widens the ca…

tako_contents

Fetch what's behind result URLs (1-10 per call): a card's rows (billed per 1k rows) or a web page's text — pass `query` for only the matching passages. Requires a signed-in connection.
